Meanwhile meeting in the villa yestd night yielded no fruits for Chime who had mobilised Enugu elders he so despises for just one mission, to offer to Mr. President that he will drop his ambition to go to Senate if Ike would be pressed upon to drop his.

To Mr. President, any proposal to calm Enugu would be acceptable to him so long as Ike is allowed to contest.

So oga gobina is back to square 1. Infact he was told to go and reconcile with Ike the same he he would always tell ppl to go and reconcile with his erstwhile Chief of staff.

It might be the natural law retribution, it could be nemesis or Karma, Otil1 knows not.

Oh dear. You are so right on point and that is just the root of Chime's great ondoing.

While deputy state part chairman Ajah was impoverished and wallowing in poverty, Vita Abah State chairman was Chime's lap dog and has choice property all over Enugu. A wretched Aba-based contractor of yestday.

Just like Jonathan, Ajah was treated as nothing as deputy.

Question: what would it have cost Chime to cultivate Ajah's loyalty? Compare that to over N1bn he spent trying to buy ward congress panel

Like Enugu like Ebonyi...

"Recall that a court of competent jurisdiction had upheld the results of the Ebonyi state party primaries and quashed the objections of Elechi and his supporters.

Coming against the background of a decision of the House not to allow the governor to take a loan of N15 billion without first accounting for the N16 billion borrowed earlier, it seems Elechi’s hold and relevance had waned irretrievably.

With a letter of protest to Mr. President from major stakeholders in the state our investigations show that the planned protest at the party headquarters is a last ditch effort by the governor to reclaim his lost relevance in the party affairs of the state."

Enugu judge withdraws from PDP chairmanship suit over ‘death threats’
November 24, 2014Premium Times

Governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu
Justice A. R. Ozoemena of the Enugu High Court, on Monday, withdrew from hearing a suit brought by Ikeje Asogwa, praying the court to uphold his purported appointment as the chairman of the Enugu State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The judge said he took the action because he had been receiving calls and messages on his mobile telephones by people he did not name, threatening to kill him and therefore would not go ahead with the case.
Mr. Asogwa, a loyalist of Governor Sullivan Chime, had instituted the suit asking the court to restrain the defendant, David Aja, from parading himself as the Chairman of the state’s PDP.
Mr. Aja was deputy to Vitalis Abba, who resigned his position and by virtue of the constitution of the party, should have stepped into the position of his predecessor. However, some party chieftains appointed Mr. Asogwa instead as substantive chairman of the party.
Mr. Ozoemena, on November 14, took full arguments on the motion on notice and adjourned the matter for November 24 for the ruling of the court.
The judge said the case file should be returned to the registrar of the Enugu State High Court for onward transmission to the chief judge of the Enugu State High Court, Justice Innocent Umezulike, for reassignment.
Worried about the development, Justina Offiah, SAN, counsel to Mr. Asogwa, described it as unfortunate.
On his part, counsel to the defendant, Ogochukwu Onyekwuluje, held that the proper thing to do was for the judge to petition the police and make available to them the phone numbers in question for thorough investigations that would bring the culprits to book.
Meanwhile, the Federal High Court, Abuja on Monday upheld the result of the Ward Congresses of the PDP in Enugu State on November 1.
Three PDP members, Orji Godwin, Cletus Akalusi and Orji Orji, on behalf of themselves and all the delegates elected in the election, had instituted a suit seeking for the declaration by the court that the list of delegates was the only valid list for the PDP delegates for primaries in Enugu State to the exclusion of all other lists.
The national chairman of the party, Adamu Mu’azu, its national organising secretary, Abubakar Mustapha, and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, were joined as defendants in the suit.
The plaintiffs also sought an order restraining INEC from accepting any other list of delegates for the PDP primaries in the state.
In his ruling, Justice A.F.A Ademola, held that a valid ward congress for the election of a three-man man delegate from the 260 Electoral Wards of Enugu State took place in Enugu State on November 1 and that the list before it remained the valid list candidates returned at the election.
On the issue of jurisdiction, which the defendants said the court lacked, the judge held that the court had jurisdiction to hear the suit because the matters in contention were not simply the internal matter of the PDP.
Mr. Ademola said the delegates had been duly elected, had certain rights, and could therefore ask the court to protect their rights as delegates.

TechRev:
Mr Otil At least try to make the report a little biased by your tone and caption a lot of people will doubt your writeup no matter how true it is. You sound like you are an Ekweremadu boy.
Thanks TechRev. For above counsel and for all you said.

Your post presents the situation aptly. Once you say anything against Chime, straight, you are Ekweremmadu sent.

But I can see how you were able to pass thru your points without being so labelled (hopefully).

Truth is that there is a gangup against any decenting opinion. I, on this forum, said that Chime's programmes were not deep, that paving, painting and repainting Enugu city centre was window dressing by a leader who lacked understanding or who has no interest in dealing with the key problems of the people of the State. I even said that Chime's focus was at the easy to see city centre not even the entire Enugu city. Nsukaa, 9th Mile area, Oji River, totally neglected. Then I didn't know about his political ambition of putting all his relatives in power. I didn't know about billions in loans got in the name of projects that don't touch the life of the people.

Now, Chime's true colours are beginning to emerge. I work on the premise that the evil and atrocities of Chime as with other evil leaders will attract their rewards -destruction. The deceit and oppression cannot last forever. For Chime, I hide not my mouth in saying that the man is wicked. And what is happening now is just the beginning.

Now over to Ekweremmadu, you won't know that I don't see him, he doesn't know me and I can assure you that I have not been singing his praise in any way, anywhere, in this forum or elsewhere. Its just that belief that once against Chime then ur of Ekwere, but thank God for ppl like you.

Honestly, if you ask my opinion. Ekweremmadu and Chime are both sides of same coin. Non has really won a political victory on own efforts. They both have been fetching from the same stream of political anointing. So it's truly hightime a good political battle purifies the system. Both have been establishment people, coasting to vitory on pdp rigging machine. That's why they are both struggling for the same pdp flag. Let them both seek fresh political platforms and square equally with other candidates and we see.

But my primary focus is on Chime and I was not wrong. Many are fooled by his window dressing. Many years from now, many more people will see how much destruction he has bestowed on Enugu ppl

PDP Ward Congress: Enugu CJ to rule on motion challenging his jurisdiction November 28
http://theadvocatengr.com/new/pdp-ward-congress-enugu-cj-to-rule-on-motion-challenging-his-jurisdiction-november-28/

November 21
16:09
2014
Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice Innocent Umezulike, Friday, reserved for November 28 ruling on the motion asking him to dismiss and strike out a suit filed by Mr. Charles Okafor and others demanding the cancelation of the November 1st 2014 ward congresses of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Enugu state.

The application for dismissal of the suit number E/446/2014 was made by Chief Alex Izinyon, SAN, the counsel to first defendants, the PDP, who based his argument on the fact that the court lacks the jurisdiction to entertain the suit, which he said, was an abuse of court process and that his clients, PDP, was not properly served.

Chief Izinyon, who led a team of over six lawyers including; Emeka Etiaba, Obinna Nanka and M.O. Fagbemi, told the court that a similar suit filed by Chinenye Orji, Cletus Akalusi and Orji C. Orji on behalf of themselves and other delegates elected during November 1st ward congress of the PDP in Enugu state, was going on at Federal High Court Abuja.

He said that the Abuja Federal High Court had earlier granted two injunctions first restraining PDP from tampering with the result of the November 1 ward congress and or conducting a fresh ward congress in Enugu State, and also another injunction restraining Mr. Ikeje Asogwa from parading himself as chairman of the party in Enugu state as Elder David Aja remained the Acting chairman of the party following the resignation of the former chairman, Engr. Vita Abba.

Charles Okafor and others had approached the Enugu Chief Judge’s Courtchallenging the validity of ward congress of the PDP  insisting that no ward congress took place in the state on November 1st 2014.

But Izinyon Friday argued the 38-paragraph motion supported by three exhibits, including certified copy of the result of the ward congress of the PDP conducted in Enugu sate on November 1st, 2014, that there was a ward congress of the party on the said date and that already some delegates elected at the congress had approached an Abuja Federal High Court demanding that nobody should tamper with the list of delegates elected at the congress.

Citing several authorities, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria submitted that when a court is already entertaining a suit with subsisting orders, and similar suit with the same subject matter is filed in another court of equal jurisdiction, the latter would be struck out as abuse of court process.

Arguing that the issue of jurisdiction transcends the rule of the court as it is the spinal cord of any matter, Chief Izinyon urged the court to dismiss the suit also on grounds of improper service as required by Section222 of the Constitution, noting that the PDP National Headquarters instead of being served directly at Wadata Plaza Abuja, was served through a liaison office.

The counsel to second set of defendants (Chinenye Orji, Cletus Akalusi and Orji C. Orji), Tagbo Ike, accompanied by other lawyers concurred with the submission of Izinyon, adding that the matter was an intra-party one which the court has no jurisdiction of entertaining.

But the counsel to the plaintiff, Sam Orji who cited several authorities argued that the suit was not an abuse of court process and urged the court to rather strike out the motion.

Justice Umezulike, however, fixed ruling on jurisdiction for Friday November 28, 2014 which is the eve of the PDP House of Assembly Primaries

Enugu PDP crisis: Chime’s camp suffers another set back after court dismisses caseBy Emmanuel Uzodinma on November 20, 2014

Chime

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Thursday, dismissed a motion for joinder brought by some members of the Enugu State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, seeking to be joined in the suit (number FHC/ABJ//CS/816/2014) filed by Mr. Orji Chinenye Godwin, Chiefs Cletus C. Akalusi and Orji C. Orji on behalf of themselves and all Delegates elected on November 1, 2014 Ward Congress against the PDP, the National Chairman and the National Organising Secretary as well as the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

This is even as an Enugu State High Court presided over by the Chief Judge of the State, Justice Innocent Umezulike, on the same day granted a motion for joinder brought by Mr. Orji Chineye Godwin, Chiefs Cletus C. Akalusi and Orji C. Orji seeking to be joined in the suit (number E/446/2014) brought against the PDP by Mr. Charles Okafor of the Enugu State chapter of party.

Mr. Okafor is praying the court to declare that no ward congresses held in Enugu State on November 1, 2014.


He is also asking that the delegates, who emerged on the date should not be used for the purpose of primaries or subsequent processes.

The Court in Abuja presided over by Justice A.F.A Ademola, ruled that the applicants had no Locus Standi, as they were not necessary parties for the determination of the suit and therefore could not be joined in it.

The court also heard the main suit before adjourning it for judgment.

Chief Solo Akuma, SAN appeared for the plaintiffs, while Chief Mrs. AJ Offiah SAN appeared for the defendants in the suit.


It could be recalled that counsel to the national leadership of the PDP, Frederick C. Olisa, had on Tuesday confirmed that the party’s nationwide ward congresses to elect 3-man ad-hoc delegates validly held in Enugu State.

This was contained in an amended affidavit by the PDP counsel to override his earlier submission to the contrary in line with emerging facts.

Meanwhile, granting the motion for joinder by the trio of Mr. Orji Chinenye Godwin, Chiefs Cletus C. Akalusi and Orji C. Orji, the Enugu High Court presided over by Justice Umezulike held that there was nothing in the law to shut out the applicants from being heard in the matter.

Counsel to the applicants Chief Tagbo Ike with Chuma Oguejiofor and nine others, argued that the applicants were people to be affected if they were not joined in matter haven emerged in the ward congresses in Enugu State chapter of the PDP.


The court fixed Friday, November 21 for hearing of the substantive suit.
Mr. Sam Orji appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Charles Okafor, while Mr. Emeka Etiaba represented the PDP.

That is not what PDP as a ruling party stands for.

COUNCIL OFFICIALS, THUGS ATTACK EKWEREMADU’S MEDICAL MISSION TEAM IN ENUGU

Police orders immediate arrest of culprits

About 10 persons suspected to be political thugs led by two Development Area Administrators on Wednesday attacked the Senator Ike Ekweremadu’s Ikeoha Foundation Free Eye Treatment Project team at Oghe in Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State.

The annual project in which an estimated 10,000 people from the five local government areas of Enugu West Senatorial Districts are expected to benefit from free eye treatment, free drugs, free eye glasses and free eye surgeries had commenced on November 17 in partnership with Community Eye Savers.

The humanitarian project started well on its third day at the St. Theresa’s Secondary School, Oghe in Ezeagu LGA when the hoodlums who were armed with dangerous weapons stormed the venue to unleash mayhem on the officials.

Speaking to reporters, the Executive Director of Ikeoha Foundation, Mrs. Cindy Ezeugwu, said they were totally taken unawares as the Ikeoha Foundation was a household name in the State and its medical mission always looked forward to by the masses.

She said: “We had successfully carried out the 2014 edition of the project in Udi, Oji River, and Awgu local government areas. So, Ezeagu was slated for today. We had set up the venue with canopies and chairs as well as our facilities as usual. We had accredited over 600 people and attended to two elders and Igwe Sylvester Ozoekwem, the traditional ruler of Umumba Ndiuno that morning. The turnout was massive.

“Everything was going on smoothly until over ten thugs led by the Administrator of Ezeagu North Development Area, Hon. Okwudili Onuora popularly called Ayaya and the Administrator of Ezeagu South Development Area, Hon. Chukwudi Fred Ezinwa, who also known as Commodore stormed the venue, a catholic school within a Catholic Church premises, and commanded us to stop attending to the people.

“They said we should pack our things, but we told them we must inform the community, the people we were serving. While we were trying to explain with even the people protesting, they descended on us and the venue, destroying the canopies, breaking the chairs, some on people’s heads. They inflicted so much injury on my people, very deep wounds and gashes. They destroyed some equipment and confiscating our cameras, tapes, and memory cards. Our Fundraising Manager, Obiora Obasi and Cameraman, Ogoo Chinedu, for instance, sustained deep cuts. Ogoo’s nose was broken and he fainted. The commotion and mayhem was just too much”.

The Executive Director said the police eventually intervened, although the Administrators were released almost immediately they got to the Aguobuowa Divisional Station.

Asked if she read any political meanings to the incident, knowing that the Development Area Administrators were political appointees of the State, Mrs. Ezeugwu said she was not a politician and did not want to get involved in Enugu politics.

She explained: “All I know is that the Ikeoha Foundation has so far strictly stayed out of politics; even when this year schools were barred from participating in the Ikeoha Quiz Competition where winning schools and runners up usually take home educational equipment, while the students themselves get N500,000 each once they gained admission into the University, we refused to go public about it.

“When we procured 20,000 units of anti-malarial drugs from a highly reputable international pharmaceutical company for distribution to health facilities in the senatorial district to curb the high incidences of malaria-related sickness and death and it was sabotaged, we refused to talk, just to stay out of politics.

“This particular programme was well publicised and it is something the Foundation has been into over the years to help our people. So, I don’t know why anybody in his or her right sense would conceive idea of attacking us, our partners and medical team working for the good of the poor masses. It is so unfortunate”.

One of the victims, Mr. Obiora Obasi, Programme Officer whose head and arms were badly broken told reporters amidst bleeding at an Enugu private hospital that he was beaten to stupour.

In his account, a Programme Officer at the Foundation, Mr. Uzo Michael, said he left to Enugu with the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, Mr. Donald due to a petition by the Chairman of the Local Government claiming that members of the medical team were coming to demonstrate and cause trouble, hence should be stopped.

“The DPO and I went to see the Police Commissioner who after listening to me said it was a noble cause and that I should return to Oghe to continue with the programme; but on return, I saw the whole place so riotous like a war zone”, he added.

It could be recalled that contractor handling the National Youth Development Centre attracted to Ezeagu LGA by Senator Ekweremadu was initially prevented by the Council Chairman from commencing work at the site last year, causing delay.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the State, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu said the Commissioner of Police had ordered that the culprits be arrested immediately and brought to the State headquarters, while full investigation should commence.

“The Enugu state command of the Nigeria police have commenced a full scale investigation into the alleged incident of 19/11/14 where some suspected hoodlums numbering about ten and  yet to be identified allegedly invaded St. Theresa’s Catholic Church compound Oghe in Ezeagu venue of Ikeoha Foundation eye examination,” the PPRO said in a statement Wednesday.
